I took the head off tonight. Valves are not supposed to look like this! Luckily, there is no damage to the cylinders and they are zeroed out at the top of block at TDC so that makes me happy. When you use your impact wrench to take off valve cover bolts, intake manifold bolts, etc….the teardown only takes about 45 min. Oh, and using the instructions from thesaabsite.com. That was a key development. Who would have thunk reading the directions would help??
that aint right (note the gear on the left is missing the tab in the middle. This is high yield steel boys and girls…that is raw power shearing that (I did get the piece out of the engine. Thank god for small favors))
that aint right either! I have about 8 of these. (Note the gap between the bottom of the valve and the head. It is supposed to sit flush. It isn’t)
